This is not a breaking change. Everything that works on Vim8 script will continue to work. The new scripting language will provide extensions that you can use to get better speed.
> I would have loved for Vim to also adopt Lua
Vim has supported Lua for a long time. Anyone who wants to really use Lua for Vim plugins already has the option of doing so.
- capableweb 5y ago> Vim has supported Lua for a long time. Anyone who wants to really use Lua for Vim plugins already has the option of doing so. How does that compare to writing Lua plugins for Neovim? Seemingly all search results for "write vim plugin in lua" are dominated by results for writing lua plugins for neovim. Does vanilla Vim have something like Neovim's "Remote Plugin" or how does it work?
- blindseer 5y agoMy understanding is that neovim devs would like to see a lua interface in vim, but right now there's a lot of functions in neovim's lua interface that are not available in vim's lua interface. But for the stuff that is available, you can either use the vim help to learn about it or search on vim's github issues / PRs, e.g. https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/7959 https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/7959. I'm curious if there are other ways to learn more about vim's lua interface, searching on google as you said does not give great results for vim, just neovim.
